The QR code on the back of the Nexus One

So I heard there was a QR code on the back of the Nexus One, but all the early photos obscured it. Well, today I finally got a scan of the code, and (not surprisingly, given the fact that it was the Google Christmas gift) it reads: www.android.com­/holidays

If you visit that URL from any browser, you'll just be taken to the Android site. However, if you visit it from a Nexus One, you're taken to a themed memory game. (More on that here: phandroid.com­/2009­/12­/15­/nexus­-one­-holiday­-memory­-... ). That's it!

From the linked article:

Oh, and by the way, the browser can tell if you’re using a Nexus One only based on the User Agent Profile which is easily spoofed. Long story short: some tweaking and you can play the holiday memory game yourself.

* Safari 4 – with developer tools enabled, go to Develop -> User Agent -> Other and type ‘Nexus One’ in the box.
* Firefox – type ‘about:config’ in the address bar and filtering on ‘useragent’ and setting it there. It’s apparently not quite as easy to do with the Chrome dev tools.
* Firefox method 2 (AG) – Use the User Agent Switcher extension
* Chrome – SOL


Seems like Google is looking to expand on Web Apps.

Tried Firefox 3.6 b4 and the game appeared but was unplayable.

There was a QR code on the dev/employee units, but it's gone :(

Sucks, your not the only one who wants the QR code.
